Re: Wow, ISU daily op-ed slams JP

I guess if the students don't wan't to be part of the gathering in CA that is fine. I can remember when my seats were in the nose bleed seats for the games. If they want to sit somewhere else in Hilton, that is fine too. I have sat behind the baskets and I think they are fine seats. If students don't want to go to the game because it is too cold to walk, can't catch a ride, need to study, have to work, not a big deal to me. I worked through college and wasn't able to go to every game. In fact, if people don't want to buy the new logo because change can be hard, that is fine too. I haven't exactly enjoyed some of our ketchup and mustard years either but I have supported my team by buying the clothing.

However, if people want things to stay the same as with previous ISU administrators, then I figure that is their right to be wrong. I would prefer people to attend the games of all the sporting events because they are excited about the future and will support their team, regardless......pew fillers, stay home(Need an example: Iowa MBB games). Pick a team that has a long history of success such as Texas, USC, Michigan, Oklahoma....There are a lot of teams out there that have had a lot more success and probably much easier to be a fan.

Go ISU!

Re: Wow, ISU daily op-ed slams JP

I actually know Mark personally and I will first and foremost say I do not agree with him.

I rarely ever pick up the daily anymore, unless I want to do the games in the back, it just isn't worth my time.

It isn't JP's fault students are showing up to the games, and it has nothing to do with money, because JP and the rest of the AD get paid regardless of whether students show up or not. It is about having a packed house all the way around and a loud atmosphere inside.

I am really embarrassed the student section looks like this right now and I wish I could come up with a solution to make it better immediately, but I can't. Talking about it like this certainly won't cure it.
